Bethenny Frankel's Talk Show Has Been Canceled

Bethenny Frankel is going to have to find a new way to try and make money and to stay famous. That is what she really wants. The show will stay on the air until May and will probably end up featuring guests that no one else wants. It actually stayed on the air a little longer than I thought it would but she was doomed because she just couldn't get the name guests and wasn't liked by her staff or her bosses. Oh, or the vast majority of the viewing public which is kind of a necessity if you want people to choose your show among all the alternatives.

The two girls I know who really liked her, back on HWNYC and then on her shows progressively liked her less with each TV show. By the time the talk show came about they had moved to active dislike, so I have to blame Bethenny herself. If you have a popular image, for goodness sake maintain the fake image.

I watched once or twice, but she was just so smug and unlikable that I couldn't continue. Funny, I liked some of her SkinnyGirl products, I enjoyed most of her books (mostly for the recipes; her own "way of eating" sounds slightly disordered to me), and I even liked her way back when on RHONY, but her story has just become tiresome (said à la Dieter from Sprockets). It's what Mari said…she's just gradually become insufferable.

I like her. She's an opinionated, strong self made woman and people love to hate those. Yes she has a big personality/mouth but I appreciate those things in a woman. She's a risk taker and a good role model for business women. I get if she's not your cup of tea, but I seriously don't understand the HATE. Why wish her ill?

I don't understand how so many people get a chance at a talk show. It seems like it is so hard to do a successful one. Does Bethenny have any appeal at all?

I think Rachael Ray and Wendy Williams are two stellar talk show hosts. I don't always love them or agree with them, but they have the personality and the charisma to pull it off. It seems like such a hard job. And when Wendy Williams' wig travels around the world, I die. This Bethenny broad is like bitchy burnt stale toast.

SusanTalk shows are outrageously cheap to produce, even cheaper than other reality shows. It is relatively easy to get a shot at one. Then they need a relatively small but niche audience to justify continuing, ad dollars-wise. The daytime housewife audience is hugely influential in household spend. Blah blah blah, magic: that's how you get so many talk shows.It also accounts for Man Vs Food.

I don't like her, but what I did like (and for those who've heard me say this before, skip over) – was the little segments she had at the end of most show.

One time, she had this clever eyebrow technician who taught everyone how to shape their eyebrows properly; another time, she had a very talented make-up artist on who showed some fresh techniques for 2014; and then there was the time there was a lady on who showed how to cram more into your suitcase through clever packing.

I agree she spoke too fast … she also lacked the natural charm that most good talk show hosts have – in her defence, she was probablyfoc using on listening to the producer talking in her ear, which can be really hard to do at the same time as looking interested in what your guests are saying, but still …

I think it's interesting to remember that any tv show (excepting those on non commercial networks) have one single motivation, which is to make revenue by being able to sell the ad space. That's it – doesn't matter what the network, producer, often even the writer says, it's about making a good show that gets popular so they can sell more ad space at higher rates.
